It is our mission to help meet the practical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the widow.

Some children grow up with the pain of great loss, unanswered questions, or the absence of a dad. God has great compassion for them!

Isaiah 54 was written to people who knew sorrow and uncertainty, and right in the middle of those promises, God gives hope:

“All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be the peace of your children.”

What a comfort to know that God Himself watches over our children. He teaches, guides, and gives them strength.

His peace is not dependent on perfect circumstances. It is rooted in His faithful presence.

For many widows and fatherless children, Father's Day can be one of the hardest days of the year.

In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, I share how my family chose not to ignore the pain of Father's Day, but to reframe it. What became "Remembrance Day" created space to honor a beloved dad while also pointing their children to the faithful presence of their Heavenly Father.

God doesn't ask us to pretend the loss isn't real. He meets us in it.

Father’s Day can bring unique challenges for children growing up without an earthly father and for the mothers walking alongside them through that grief.

In Episode 220 of the Raising Fatherless Kids podcast, I explore how to help children process the absence of dad with honesty, while pointing them to the hope found in God’s faithful presence. Through biblical encouragement, practical guidance, and personal stories, this episode reminds us that while a child may feel the absence of an earthly father, they are never without a Heavenly Father.

Biblical “yet” statements often follow this pattern:

Pain… yet trust
Loss… yet praise
Sin… yet mercy
Waiting… yet hope
Death… yet life

The word yet becomes a bridge between present reality and God’s greater plan.

For someone walking through grief, disappointment, unanswered prayer, or uncertainty, the Bible’s “yet” passages give hope to anchor our faith.

What situation in your life needs a “yet” today?

Some absences leave deep questions behind. But God's presence has the power to bring healing where there has been hurt and hope where there has been loss.

“Shifting your focus to God as Father changes the outcome of your future. His presence fills the absence.”
— Michael Apon

This truth is at the heart of Absent Dad, Present Father, a message of hope for anyone seeking healing, identity, and a deeper understanding of the Father's love.

Forgiveness is not pretending the hurt didn’t happen. It is choosing to release it into God’s hands so it no longer has power over your future.

Your child is not bound to repeat the past. They are not destined to repeat the sins of the fathers.

“The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness.” (Ezekiel 18:20 NLT)

When we forgive, we walk in freedom.
When we speak truth, we replace fear.
When we point our children to God, we give them something stronger than any pattern of sin… we give them a perfect Father.

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us that God never wastes our pain. The comfort He gives us in seasons of grief, hardship, and loss can become a source of encouragement for others walking through similar struggles.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."

Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ve lost my joy”?

In this week’s episode of the Perspective Ministries Podcast, Lori explores that difficult feeling with compassion, honesty, and biblical hope. Seasons of grief, exhaustion, disappointment, loneliness, and overwhelming circumstances can make joy feel distant, but that doesn’t mean God has left you.

True joy is deeper than happiness or emotion. It is found in the presence of God, who remains faithful through every valley and every season.

If you’re feeling weary, discouraged, or struggling to see the light ahead, this episode is for you.

🎧 Episode 219: When It Feels That Joy Is Lost is available now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts and be encouraged today. https://loom.ly/lNRbCfQ

Biblical lament gives us permission to bring our grief honestly before God.

He is not threatened by our questions, sorrow, or tears. He invites us to come to Him in the middle of suffering and place our trust in His character and faithfulness.

“The destination of lament is trust.” - Mark Vroegop

Fear is a very real part of widowhood.

Questions about the future, finances, safety, and raising children alone can feel overwhelming. In the early days, especially, these fears may surface often.

One of the most helpful things you can do is listen. When a widow knows her fears are heard and taken seriously, it can bring comfort and reassurance.

Over time, with support and the faithful care of God, those fears begin to soften.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” - Psalm 46:1
